Beijing (VNA) – Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has urged Chinese
enterprises to further expand their investment in Vietnam, using modern and
environmentally friendly technologies, for sustainable development.

The
Vietnamese Party chief made the call at a meeting on January 14 with representatives
from a number of Chinese big firms currently operating in Vietnam, including
the Huaxia Group, the China Construction Bank, the Sunshine Kaidi New Energy Group
Co., Ltd, and the China Orient Asset Management Corporation.

Vietnam
needs resources, capital as well as management experience during its
industrialization-modernization and integration process, the Party leader said,
asking Chinese investors to use local workers to help Vietnam train
high-quality human resources.

He
praised the companies for their strong development not only in China but also
in international markets, affirming that Vietnam is willing to create the best
possible conditions for foreign investors, including those from China to do
business in the country.

Zhao Hong Jing, Chairman of the Huaxia Group, said his firm always gives
priority to investment in high-tech fields under the Public-Private (PP)
Partnership form.

The
group, which specialises in construction-industry-urban development, is
investing in industrial city projects in southern Dong Nai province and Hanoi.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the China Construction Bank Wang Hong Zhang said the
bank wants to expand services at its office in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City in
order to make more contributions to Vietnam’s economic development, and trade
and investment links between Vietnam and China.

He hoped Vietnam will facilitate operation of businesses and investors in the
country.-VNA
